There’s been a lot going on in the world of attractions over the last week. Here are some of the headlines:

• The deputy director of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP), Angel Rohnke, has been named the new director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

• Price cuts are putting pressure on the Chinese cruise market, with travel agents trying to stay afloat amid a challenging outlook.

• Insidious: The Further is the latest announcement for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Disney has revealed the full scope of its D23 fan event for 2024, with the biennial fan convention to be partially streamed on Disney+ for the first time as the spectacle more than doubles in size.

• The Welsh Government will provide an additional £3.7m in funding this year to support urgent repairs and relieve financial pressures at national and local cultural institutions.
